Gameday Thread, Season Opener: Colorado vs TCU; Sponsored by NIL Village

[Pure Purple]

Largest crowd in Carter history sat in blistering heat…to watch

that miserable (censor) show……

 

[smufrogger]

Defense was absolutely lost.

Not a fan of our dc. Colorado is one dimensional and he can’t scheme for shinola

 

[Flying T]

Yup. That is it. They “want” to win it “more” than we do. We should just call it.

Good gosh.

Thanks for your valuable commentary.

 

[JugbandFrog]

Both of these. Defense was a complete joke today and Morris… yeah he’s a good backup. Not a starter for a D1 team.

I loathe Gillespie, but I actually respect him now. It’s hard to stop a good offense with a qb that is on.

Sanders > Morris and that’s the difference today

 

[geezer]

CU's hype was for real.

TCU's wasn't.

 

[Sonny Side Up]

We shocked the world in ‘22. We’re not sneaking up on anyone this year. Yes, we were outplayed today, but we have a good team. Think and practice like you need to validate yourselves. Little things matter. Coaches and players need to decide if they’re going to take a bow for last season or define TCU football as a force. Sonny earns his money this week. Do it, or I’ll do it for half the price. Unacceptable.

Left points on the field? Yep. But it sure looked like Colorado was going to be able to score whatever it needed to.

 

[Froggy Style]

His mobility is not the problem. Lack of seeing the field and accuracy is the rough part. But our D is just horrible. And Dykes still does not know how to run the clock when it is needed.

If there’s no threat of Qb run, the can leave safeties back to intercept passes…that is where nobility is the problem

Both of our coordinators were lost today

 

[Lonestar]

Briles lost a shoot out wow this is my shocked face.
Trash person, trash gameplan.

540 yards and 40+ points is trash?

 

[froglash88]

Combined with leaving 17 points on the field

 

[Mean Purple]

How do we get these coordinators and an HC who are hyped and offensive gurus and our QB’s are not this level?
We got very lucky last year due to senior leadership.

 

[Zubaz]

540 yards and 40+ points is trash?

No, covering up rape is trash. Anything after that is just scenery.

 

[froglash88]

540 yards and 40+ points is trash?

It was the situational game planning that was crappy on offense

 

[Mean Purple]

To be honest, most good qbs decent teams would have done that to us today. Our defense is so bad. They were not good last year. They are awful now. And with a Leach minded coach, D becomes an after thought.

No pass rush AT ALL when we don’t blitz anyone. You just can’t make your DBs chase guys all over the field.

 

[LisaLT]

I need to readjust my expectations for this season drastically after that one. Im not even sure the INTs and missed FG would have sealed a win for us because who knows how the game plays out with their ability to score Willy nilly. Every time we scored, they scored.

What a deflating loss. Game 1 season opener at home and a big L. Just no words are adequate enough to express my disgust.

Well his defense has given up 110 points in the last 2 games he coached. Sorry that’s on him

When he made the right decision, he ran well. He just is not this level.
